Stay tuned because we'll be publishing the results over the next week, but for now, we've spoken to relationship expert Caroline Brealey about what our right-swiping really says about us and what these guys are looking for.

The Hipster

"Sure, 'hipster' might be seen as slang for 'wanky scenester' in some circles, but they actually may be the perfect partner, especially for the kind of girl that needs to have her head turned by an interesting, intellectual guy.

"If you've found yourself getting bored with past boyfriends or settling for a man who never made plans for the two of you, the hipster will be first to suggest the coolest places to go and the newest food, drink and films. If you love trying new things, seeing the world and going out over staying in, this could be a perfect match.

"Although, it must be said that in this relationship more than any, having shared interests is almost a must, because you could grow weary of the avant-garde Russian cinema and missing I'm A Celeb, if not."

The Rocker

"Much like the music he'll listen to, the rocker is more of an acquired taste and is most likely not one for the kind of woman that will want to sit back with a Camomile and watch X Factor on the weekend.

"In terms of a long-term relationship, this could be hard work, as there may be walls to break down before he is forthcoming with love and affection. But if you're patient, when those walls finally come down it will be even more meaningful.

"His other half will be someone that oozes with creativity, enjoys adventure and loves going to a gig over a romantic meal. But if you're bored easily, steer clear. If you're not willing to put the effort in, you could could grow tired of his brooding, moody, 'too cool for school' exterior to begin with."

The Lad

"Extremely friend and family orientated, with the right girl, the lad can be the right guy… but I repeat, he definitely needs the right girl.

"Who is that? A confident woman that can stand her ground, has her own life outside of the relationship and doesn't have trust issues, because this guy will most likely have a VERY active social life. His friends will be at his core – from trips to see his football team play to Saturday nights largely being reserved for the weekly 'big night out' – meaning he will of course suit a lady with a similar lifestyle, who isn't waiting at home for a text and fretting over what he's up to.

"It isn't all glugging beers and chanting at the football though, because he'll probably be very close to his family behind all the bravado (and possibly a bit of a mummy's boy), holding him in good stead if you are looking for a family of your own. Plus, while he won't often show his romantic side… when he does, you'll know it has come from the heart."

The Gym Buff

"Other men may have their hobbies, but the gym buff's is one that defines his life, and everything else in it needs to fall in place around the gym: his own personal Mecca.

"If you're not happy catering to his meal plans and coming second to the weights, treadmills and cross trainers, he's probably not for you. Gym buffs are most definitely suited to girls who like to keep fit, as they will be able to co-ordinate schedules and push each other to do their best and stay in shape.

The Metrosexual

"Metrosexuals are easily spotted in a crowd because they look GOOD. Like, really good. They probably have enough products in their bathroom to rival Boots and it definitely shows, because this man likes to look his best at all times.

"The obvious down sides can be vanity and fights over bathroom time (and products). But the great thing about this guy? If his attention to detail flows over into other areas of his life, he'll be an attentive boyfriend who cares about the little things, from taking your coat to buying you thoughtful gifts.

"If you also take pride in your appearance and value setting off to the more prestigious places to eat, drink and spend your holidays, you'll be a perfect fit. Generally speaking, metrosexual men are drawn to women that let their femininity out and are essentially the glam version of the girl next door."
